Tonight’s AEW COLLISION was broadcast on TNT and streamed on MAX live from the UW-Milwaukee Panther Arena in Milwaukee, WI!
Tony Schiavone and Nigel McGuinness were the broadcast team for tonight’s event.
It’s Saturday night and you know what that means! This is for the Sickos!
Kicking off tonight’s show: AEW Women’s World Champion “Timeless” Toni Storm!
Toni Storm: “Megan Bayne, get out here right now! Fine, if you’re too busy, you’ll listen to what I have to say.
“Last Wednesday, you were the better woman. I don’t know what happened, it all happened so fast. But before I knew it, I was flat on my back. I am embarrassed. I am hurt. And I’m ashamed. And the worst part is, you made it look so easy.
“So I went back to my hotel, and I turned off all the lights. I went over the same scene in my head over and over again, wondering if this is what will happen to me at Dynasty. And then when the sun came up, I was covered in sweat. But I got up, I looked into the mirror, and I remembered exactly who I am.
“I am ‘Timeless’ Toni Storm. And at Dynasty, I will be leaving with your tits in my purse!”
Penelope Ford blindsided the champ! Toni fired back with the hip attack! Megan Bayne blasted Storm from the other side!
“A coordinated attack!” said Tony Schiavone.
Bayne flattened Storm with Fate’s Descent onto the World title!
Up next: We heard from AEW World Champion Jon Moxley and the Death Riders!
Claudio: “This Wednesday, Adam Copeland, you and me, one on one, for what you did to me! I know that you are losing your edge, and you are just trying to cope with it. That’s why I’m going to beat you to a pulp.
Moxley: “There are only three people I feared in this world. My mother, my sister and my wife. Until I met Marina Shafir. I don’t want to be the one to piss her off. Swerve you talked a big game on Wednesday, but you’ll have to back it up.”
Marina: “Willow, try to keep smiling when I rip your liver out and shove it down your throat.”
Opening match: “Switchblade” Jay White vs. Kevin Knight!
White and Knight went move for move during the opening minutes of the match. Jay White chopped at Kevin after being brought down by Kevin’s hurracanrana. Jay White grounded Kevin with a dragon screw leg whip. White followed up with a brain buster for a near fall.
Jay White punished Knight with a barrage of chops. Kevin rallied back with a high dropkick, going into orbit! Kevin hit the UFO splash and then connected with a thrust kick.

Jay White blasted Kevin Knight with the Blade Runner and picked up the 1-2-3!
“Jay White earned every bit of that one,” said Tony Schiavone.
Jay White: “Let’s hear it for Kevin Knight. Just like myself, Kevin went through the New Japan Dojo. And I’m sure we’re going to see a lot more of Kevin Knight here in AEW. See you around.
“Now the 2025 Owen Hart Tournament, it will have the best of the best and I will show that I am the best. I need to go on to All In Texas because I need the AEW World Championship! I’m King Switch, baby! It is still my era! And at All In, I will show it is still the Switchblade Era!”

Tony Schiavone entered the ring to interview the champ.
Mercedes: “I am the greatest TBS Champion of all time. I came to AEW to win more gold. So I’m officially declaring myself in the Owen Hart Tournament and then I’ll make my way to All In Texas and become the AEW Women’s World Champion.
“I don’t want to hear about that stupid kid Billie Starkz. I mean, who trained Billie? Whoever taught her sucks at pro wrestling.”
ROH Women’s Champion “The Fallen Goddess” Athena walked down to the ring!
Athena ducked a cheap shot and then blasted Mercedes with a strike of her own. Robyn Renegade went to check on Mercedes and was inadvertently stunned by the O-Face from Athena!
Lexy Nair was backstage with Queen Aminata!
Nair informed us that Queen Aminata was not medically cleared to wrestle tonight.
Serena Deeb approached Queen Aminata.
Deeb: “This was preventable. Every time you listen to me you win, and every time you don’t listen to me, you lose. You made the wrong choice.”
Queen Aminata: “You’re right, everything is a choice, and I still choose not to listen to your trash.”
Deeb: “I think you know I’m right. It looks like you’ll have a few weeks at home to rest up. Here’s a playbook to read.”
Top Flight—Dante & Darius Martin (with Leyla Grey)

The Learning Tree— “The Red Wood” Big Bill & “Bad Apple” Bryan Keith!

TNT Champion Daniel Garcia and Adam Cole had a Face to Face!
Cole came to the ring with the Undisputed Kingdom’s Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly.
Garcia was accompanied by “Daddy Magic” Matt Menard.
Cole: “Danny, listen, I know that tensions have been high. But I want to make this clear. I have all the respect in the world for you. When I say that you are the future of All Elite Wrestling, I mean that in my soul. That’s because you’re a fighting champion. When I challenged you for that TNT Championship, I didn’t get the job done, but neither did you. And as a fighting champion, that must make you sick to your stomach.
“I don’t want this to end in a draw or a tie. This needs to end with one man proving he is better than the other, and damn it, that man is me! The world knows we need to finish this fight.”
Garcia: “I appreciate the kind words, and I agree with a lot of what you said. But I’m getting a little frustrated. It’s been eating me alive knowing I can’t beat you.”
Daddy Magic: “You’re the TNT Champion. How many opportunities is this guy going to get? It’s his job to beat you and he couldn’t. You don’t have to do this rematch.”
Garcia: “I don’t have to do this, but I want to, so Adam, how about we run this back one more time?”
Roderick: “Danny! You are the future, and I’m not just saying this because Cole is my best friend, but he’s one of the best wrestlers on this planet, and you’re just not there yet dude.”
Garcia: “April 6th, none of you will be out here. Because at AEW Dynasty, there will be no one at ringside, no time limit, it’ll be Cole versus Garcia for the TNT Championship, one more time, and there will be a winner and you’re looking right at him!”
ROH Women’s Champion Athena was backstage with Billie Starkz!
Athena: “Mercedes, how did you like the taste of the floor? Keep my name and my minion’s name out of your mouth. You collect championships? I’m in the same business. I’m entering the Owen Hart Foundation Tournament!”
FTR’s Dax “The Axe” Harwood (with Cash Wheeler)
vs.
AEW World Trios Champion The Death Rider’s Wheeler Yuta!
Dax slammed Yuta and Yuta retaliated with a body slam of his own. Dax chopped down Wheeler Yuta. Wheeler dodged a baseball slide from Dax. Wheeler whipped Dax into the steel ring steps, focusing on Dax’s arm. Yuta superplexed Dax back into the ring.
Harwood regained momentum, using a back suplex off the top rope. Yuta bridged into the Cattle Mutilation, but Dax reached the ropes with his boot. Yuta nailed Dax with a German suplex. Dax transitioned to a sharpshooter, but Wheeler reached the bottom rope. Yuta rolled up Dax out of nowhere and pinned Dax!
“What a huge victory and that certainly changes the color of the Trios Match at Dynasty,” said Nigel.
Dax pushed the referee into the corner and began to argue that it was only a two-count. Security ran out, prying Dax off the ref. Cash came in to help his partner. Dax shoved everyone away, including Cash, perhaps inadvertently. Dax offered his hand to help up Cash, and Cash shoved it away and stormed off without his partner!
Alicia Atout tried to interview Nick Wayne, Mother Wayne, and Kip Sabian when The Cru interrupted!
Lio Rush: “What’s up with your boy AR Fox?”
Nick Wayne: “Me and Fox are done. Our business is way in the past.”
Lio: “It’s three of them and two of us. When the time is right, nobody knows Fox better than you. Think about it.”
“Looking to expand The Cru,” said Nigel.
Hologram vs. Blake Christian (with Lee Johnson)!
Both men were seemingly one step of the other. Hologram charged at Blake, but Blake moved out of his way and whipped Hologram into the steel ring steps.
Hologram used a hurracanrana off the top safety rail to bring Blake to the arena floor. Blake fired back with a Spanish fly off the steps. Blake crashed down with a 450 splash for a near fall on Hologram.
Blake power slammed Hologram. Blake escaped a Portal Bomb and then planted Hologram on the mat. Hologram caught Blake, spun him out with the Portal Bomb, and pinned Blake to continue his undefeated streak tonight on Collision!
